I've learnt that Dutch is more similar to Swedish than I first thought. I could understand most of all the streetnames I came across in Eindhoven  .

I'm brining a friend of mine something to drink from Austria but I want to write on the bottle what it is - in swedish. Could somebody please tell me how you call: schnaps that is made of apples and pears? I hope somebody can help me.

I'm not good at brandy brands (heh) but I guess you can just call an apple schnaps äppelsnaps (äpple + snaps = äppelsnaps) and a pear schnaps päronsnaps.
When are you coming to Sweden? Or are you here as of this moment? - your location says Sweden/Finland.

They're "spoilers." I put them there for anyone who doesn't understand what language I'm writing in. Highlight them and the English will come up.
Tu comprends, oui?

Da jia hao!
Hey all, it's me in China. Hope you guys are all doing well. Wo dui xi huan Zhong Guo. (I really like China). However that's spelt. I have been trying to practise my Chinese as much as possible, but I don't know a great deal and this is a big problem when people start talking to me as if I'm Chinese (because I look it!). People here start 'attacking' you to get them to buy their wares! It's scary! Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Zai jian! |
